Finally finished this one. It's been sitting around for years.
Really nice kit with lots of extra bits and nice decals. All hand painted using Aeromaster acrylics.
I had to replace the Hedgehog exhausts with resin ones, as the kit ones are featureless tubes.

So many models, so little time.
Re: Hasegawa Beaufighter
The hairy stick finish you achieved looks outstanding. Beautiful model.

A good model is any model you can walk away from.

That's a great finish for hand painting.

Lovely Beau, and a very nicely done and attractive paint scheme.

Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!

Re: Hasegawa Beaufighter
Thanks Chaps. The nice finish is easy with Aeromaster Paint. One coat Halfords Primer followed by 2 coats Mid Stone, 2 coats of Dark Earth and a thinned wash of Klear and water. Finally, a single coat of Klear with 20% Tamiya Flat Base.
So many models, so little time.
